Parting Gifts - Strychnine Dandelion cd (In the Red)

$12.99

New from Greg Cartwright - with Coco from the Ettes - a sorta girl group project with some really catchy songs.

"What began as a one-off split 45 by songwriters Greg Cartwright (The
Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, Reigning Sound) and Coco Hames (the
Ettes, Coco Motion) quickly evolved into The Parting Gifts. "I thought,
I'd write a song, Greg would write a song, we'd record them together,
and that would be that," says Hames. "Luckily, Greg's prolific awesome
switch was on, and we got this whole record instead." Offers Cartwright,
"I was just so impressed with how easily things went that I was
inspired to write more material for the project." And so we have their
debut full-length on In The Red. As if the talents of Cartwright and
Hames aren't enough, the album features intense performances from Dan
Auerbach (the Black Keys, BlacRok), Patrick Keeler (The Greenhornes, The
Raconteurs), Jem Cohen and Poni Silver (the Ettes) and Dave Amels
(Reigning Sound, Daptones). The result is an impressive fourteen
original songs penned by Cartwright and Hames, as well as a haunting
cover of the Rolling Stones' "(Walkin' Through the) Sleepy City." Catch
the Parting Gifts at Goner Fest 7 this year in Memphis, TN, just in time
for their Strychnine Dandelion to make its way into your record
collection." - Revolver/Mid Heaven distribution
